Finally, for each of the SNP AIMs used in the current study a TaqMan® SNP genotyping assay is readily available (Supplementary Table S2). We also note that each of the SNPs is also part of the Illumina 300K array, that should enable inspection and utilization of genotypes that are provided in the I-control data base. A summary of the information for each SNP is provided in Supplemental Tables S2 and S6. In addition, since many researches may wish to use a smaller AIMs set we have optimized a panel of 96 SNPs for which robust TaqMan assays are available as a cost-effective format (see Supplementary Table S1 footnote b).
